U.S.: Lumber and panel market report ---- Week 46 2016

Random Lengths Lumber Market Report

Sales of framing lumber were more active than many traders had anticipated heading into the holiday-shortened week. Prices in various species were on the upswing through Tuesday, even as many traders in the U.S. filtered out of their offices. Last week’s faster pace and finish helped producers carry momentum into Monday, with mills holding or bolstering order files that extended into the weeks of December 5 and 12. Distributors focused on keeping active job sites supplied.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report
Trends in structural panel trading were mixed in the holiday-shortened week. OSB prices headed into the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. with an upward tilt in most markets. Activity was strongest in the South, where bustling job site activity kept distributors in steady replenishment mode. Southern Pine plywood sales never quite took off as the holiday approached, but prices remained firm or moved upward in thicker rated sheathing panels. Western Fir plywood trading was slow Monday, but then picked up steam and stayed busy through Wednesday morning.
